{"product_id":"george-a-romero-tony-williams-9781617030291","title":"George A. Romero: Interviews","description":"George A. Romero (b. 1940) has achieved a surprising longevity as director since his first film, \u003ci\u003eNight of the Living Dead\u003c\/i\u003e (1968). After relocating to Canada, he shows no signs of slowing up: his recent film, \u003ci\u003eSurvival of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), is discussed in a new interview conducted by Tony Williams for this volume, and still other films are awaiting release. Although commonly known as a director of zombie films, a genre he himself launched, Romero's films often transcend easy labels. His films are best understood as allegorical commentaries on American life that just happen to appropriate horror as a convenient vehicle. Romero's films encompass works as different as \u003ci\u003eThe Crazies\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHungry Wives\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKnightriders\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBruiser\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The interviews in this collection cover a period of over forty years. In whatever format they originally appeared--the printed page, the internet, or the video interview--these discussions illustrate both the evolution of Romero's chosen forms of technology and the development of his thinking about the relationship between cinema and society. They present Romero as an independent director in every sense of the word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617030295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617030291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.10w x 0.55d","brand":"Tony Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984646635775,"sku":"9781617030291","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afa0b9e9-7dda-48bd-9f2d-d46ebe2d7e96.jpg?v=1683273443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-a-romero-tony-williams-9781617030291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
